Step 1

In the bottom of your stand mixer bowl, add yeast and 1 tsp sugar to 1/4 cup warm water. Allow yeast to proof, or double in size, which takes about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Place milk in microwave for 45 seconds. Add the butter to the milk and stir until it is completely melted. Allow milk to cool until it is lukewarm.

Step 3

Once the yeast has doubled, add the milk to the yeast mixture. Add sugar and about half of the flour until it reaches a muffin batter. Let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Add egg and salt to the mixture. Mix well. Add remaining flour to form a soft dough. Knead the dough until it is smooth and satiny.

Step 5

Cover and let rise until it doubles in size. Once it has doubled, punch the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 6

Lightly flour a surface and roll the dough into a large rectangle, about a 1/2 inch thick. Cut the rectangle in half, and then cut each half into 6 square pieces with a pizza cutter.

Step 7

Place on a greased baking sheet and allow to rise until double in size.

Step 8

Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 9

To make the honey butter, whip together butter, powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon and serve on warm rolls.
